Before the United States entered World War I, young Americans went to France to be fighter pilots, joining the Lafayette Escadrille. This fictional version follows a laconic Texas rancher, an eager Nebraska kid, a Black boxer already in France, and a New York swell, as they arrive green for training, get their baptism by fire when German planes ambush them on their first mission, and graduate to heroics. Rawlings, the Texan, falls in love with a young woman he meets at a bordello. Keeping their eyes on them are Captain Thenault and Cassidy, the resident ace, who keeps a pet lion. Can the boys measure up? (Source: IMDB)

Megan's Movie Review:Based on a true story, I really liked it! It is kind of a slow movie at some parts, but it was really good. I really liked the romance and the girl was really cute & sweet. The war/plane fighting was entertaining and I can't imagine having to go to war and fight the way they did. The black guy was pretty cool and it was too bad that he couldn't fly for the US Airforce. I definitely liked the fact that it was based on a true story though. The ending was sad because he never found the girl after the war. But sometimes life isn't fair right?

Rating System

This blog is just a fun blog on the movies that my husband and I watch. We hope you enjoy!

I rate my movies on a scale of 1 to 5 stars:

5 being the greatest movie ever and you should buy it

1 being the worst, stupidest movie and you should just not even watch it unless you want an amusing movie to make fun of

Note: I do not watch Rated R movies, unless they are edited. Therefore you might not see very many Rated R movies on my blog. I know there are lots of Rated R movies that are amazing, but unless they're edited I chose not to watch them.
